Many, many records bought from Fat Bob although I think I’d left town by the time it’d moved. Remember buying BowWowWow’s C30 C60 with free t-shirt!
That was before the boycott when he didn’t want to release an ep with us!!
Used to buy George Thorogood albums there.
Yeah! Great little record shop tucked away by the multi storey carpark. I bought loads of LPs there including DOORS ABSOLUTELY LIVE which some cockney rascist thug stole off me when I was in London at drama school.

Name: Marie Shaw
Comment: I was their first Saturday girl in the Corby store in 1979, ten years plus... It was a great job... the music industry might have changed but I still love music and gigs.
PS: the first carrier bags were Orange and black with the Discovery ship.
Name: Steve.
Comment: Originally the Market Harborough shop was on Coventry Road back in the 1970s. Corby opened next and Rugby opened on 1 November 1983. Coincidently the space shuttle bag cover was designed by me. But it was delayed issuing for a year due to the space shuttle tragedy. The original Discovery sailing ship design was hurriedly reprinted in the meantime. I worked in all of those three shops at various times.
